James’ Gravity Button
Thinking about James’ gravity button, which I find to be fun.
It was in part was inspired by my gravity story about the time I was working in San Francisco and the bottom of a file box I was carrying gave out. Rather than picking up the files and papers, I turned to my desk and picked up the phone and called the property management office for our office to ask them to, “Turn down the gravity as it seems a bit too strong.” I then went and picked up the files and papers and put them back in the box, which I had reinforced the bottom with packing tape.
Gravity could (/ should?) be a controllable element much like a thermostat does with temperature. Right?
